Fresh or Chilled Seabream (Sparidae), Whole — Excluding Fillets, Livers & Roes

Seabream of the family Sparidae, entered fresh or chilled in whole or dressed form, is classified here when fillets, livers, and roes are excluded — a distinction that separates it from the value-added fillet lines under heading 0304. The Sparidae family includes commercially important species such as red porgy and gilt-head bream, widely traded in specialty seafood and restaurant supply channels. All fresh fish imports are subject to FDA admissibility review at the port of entry, and importers should confirm that the foreign establishment meets applicable sanitary requirements. The US schedule further subdivides Sparidae by container weight and scaling condition, so correct classification depends on how the fish is packed and presented.
